Master Data Text Table updates poor performance

All,

Has anyone else experienced poor performance w/r to specifically the Text updates to Master Data/Characteristics?  We load the Attributes for the given Characteristic first (followed by a change run), so ordering of the load should not be the issue.  We use parallelization.  The texts are language and time independent.

It's just updates/inserts to the given /BIC/T* table w/o any regard to SIDs, Nav attributes, etc, so unsure why updating the Texts would take in some cases 3x longer than updating the Attributes themselves w/ same # of records to be updated.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
